    Planning First Big Cook NEED HELP!!

    The real logistical issue here is not the cooking, it's the processing. Make sure you recruit 3-4 helpful family members to help pull membranes, rub, sort and pull pork, and slice ribs.

    Planning First Big Cook NEED HELP!!

    Also, you can plan to finish the pork butt and hold it in a cooler for several hours, over 4 hours is fine, in a cooler, which will free up the 18" WSM for more ribs 1-6PM if you need it.

    Planning First Big Cook NEED HELP!!

    Depending on how you arrange your ribs you can fit up to 12 racks on the 22" WSM, maybe more. Rolling the ribs or rib racks or a hanging rack will help increase this capacity on this cooker. I would plan for 1/4 rack per person + 1/4 lb pulled pork per person with reasonable sides. So that...

    Kingsford Professional

    Not bad but two or three times per year (July 4, memorial day, labor day) you'll be able to grab the twin packs for about $9 each at the box stores.

    Injured :(

    Keep your edges on the snow! or, on a snowboard, your edge. I learned this lesson at age 26 with a L2 compression, my x-ray looked a little like yours. Hope you rest up and feel better soon!

    pastrami questions

    Corned beef is usually cheap immediately (one to 7 days) after SPD. But I find better tasting results starting with fresh beef if you can track down some morton tender quick or some pink curing salt to make your own pastrami.

    Water or no water?

    Never use water, what hassle, what a mess.

    WSM 22" (57cm) assembly advice (with photos and tips)

    Maclane's got it covered. Aluminum foil works fine, but really some minor air leakage won't be a huge problem and over time the smoke/gunk will build up and seal minor cracks. If your door really doesn't fit or is bent, you can try to bend it back, ask Weber for an OEM replacement on warranty...

    buying a side of beef to share... whats a good way to have it cut?

    I'd probably ask for the full packer to be split lengthwise so you both get flat and point, but having it split into flat and point is another good option, too. The best way to share the cuts overall is to split all the ground evenly then have a "draft" event where everyone takes turns selecting...

    Cabela's Heavy-Duty Slicer

    This looks a lot like the Waring "pro" slicer with the serrated blade. It will work in a pinch but to be honest, and excuse my language, it sucks.

    Why does Boston Butt cook faster in the oven?

    Sean has the answer here. It's because it was in a covered pot.

    Favorite Restaurant Depot Buys

    Meat, meat, and more meat. Butter is cheap there, as are hamburger rolls and other breads. Seafood at my RD is also quite fresh and good. However with the incidence of $2.79 USDA prime beef packer briskets at costco I don't have a lot of reasons to get over to RD anymore.
